Go into your account preferences (on http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/home.php )
General preferences
Edit the default or Home preferences (depends on what you set to use for your computer, else use the defaults)
Go to Limits on disk space used by BOINC:
Use no more than .1 GB
Leave at least 0.1 GB
Use no more than 10% of total space

Update preferences.
In the BOINC client, go to the Project tab, rightclick on Seti@Home, Update.

If that doesn't work, play around with the above 3 settings.

IIRC, somewhere in the BOINC/SETI@home writeups, they talked about variable sized work units, including talk of a few GB-sized ones. Given the current problems they seem to be having generating new WUs, maybe all the small ones got taken, and your personal preferences weren't large enough to accept the large ones.

That's the Astropulse project that's temporarily on hold. There are no AP units given out at this moment.
